Welcome to my online abode! I’m Amelia Mellor, an emerging writer for young people. This is where I post every Tuesday about my process, stories, research and artwork.

For a peek behind the puppeteer’s curtain, start with this page. If it’s entertainment you’re looking for, try this poem. And go here to find out what a narratograph is.
